Avery’s Newborn Session

2/27/2019

Avery’s mom Lizzie is one of my oldest friends! I posted her family maternity session a while back (see those photos here!) and I was so excited when I heard Avery had arrived, so I could shoot her newborn session! Just like the maternity session, we made the newborn shoot a family affair!

Big sister Morgan had asked to dress Avery, so she showed up in a special unicorn outfit that perfectly complemented Morgan’s! We took photos with the whole family, with just her sister Morgan and brother Liam, with mom and dad and some of Avery on her own. She did really well sleeping, and even when she woke up at the end, she wasn’t crying so we were able to get some eyes open shots! Here are some of my favorite photos from our session!

Photos from Valentine’s Day Sessions!

2/15/2019

It’s been a little bit of a crazy time over here at Laura Pea Photography! I try to dedicate a blog post to most sessions I do, but this V-Day season got away from me. If you follow along on my Instagram (@laurapeaphotography), you’ll have seen all these photos but I decided to do a roundup post of the sessions I did for Valentine’s Day this year for those that follow my blog!

First up is my nephew Seth! This is his first Valentine’s Day and I was so excited to get him in the studio to use some of the props I’ve been accumulating over the years! He’s so used to the click of my camera and the flash of my lights, so he did an amazing job!

Next is Juliette and Owen! I photographed them at two of the pet portrait programs I did at the Islip Public Library and then I was honored to photograph Juliette’s 1st birthday photos! They came back for her 18 month photos to surprise their dad whose birthday is the day before Valentine’s Day. They had so much fun playing around with the props I have in the studio! I love how these came out! Jules has such a brilliant smile and Owen is such a great older brother, who was so happy to pose with his little sister.

Next are my little girl Gracey’s photos! I always take photos of her when I’m figuring out my setups for sessions. She’s always happy to model for me, especially because she knows there are freeze-dried beef liver treats in it for her!

Finally is my cousin Peyton’s Valentine’s Day photos! Peyton’s mom Lori is the reason why I have this very cute little play kitchen. She saw it for sale online and told me about it. I agreed it would be a very cute addition to the studio and picked it up. Peyton was very happy to play with it in exchange for a few beautiful smiles toward the camera!

I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day!

Seth’s First Christmas

12/24/2018

Everyone in my family is all abuzz, because it’s my nephew Seth’s First Christmas! Even though he’s only 5 months old and he has NO idea what’s going on, that hasn’t stopped anyone from buying him veritable mountains of presents.

The amount of Christmas outfits we’ve put him in this month is also staggering. If you saw his newborn photo blog posts (Part One, Part Two, and Part Three :D), you know it took me three days to be satisfied with the amount of photos I’d taken. The same thing happened with his Christmas photos! I did a bunch the first day, but the next day and the next day I was still sneaking him upstairs to the studio to do a couple more! I haven’t even taken all the Christmas photos I want to take of him, either! I’m planning on some really cute ones to take on Christmas Day when we open up his plethora of presents!

Here are Seth’s 1st Christmas Photos!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Abigail’s Christmas Session

12/20/2018

Abigail’s mom and I used to work together at my first job ever, Big Lots! We haven’t seen each other in a few years, so it was a lot of fun to catch up with her and meet her sweet little girl Abigail!

She’s one of the happiest babies I’ve seen in a long time! I didn’t have to break out any of my silly stuff to make her laugh. She had pretty much a permanent smile on her face from the time she got into the studio until it was time for her to leave! She made my job nice and easy!

She liked holding onto the props we had for her, and she was overjoyed to snuggle with her parents for some family shots! Here are some of my favorite photos from our session!

Addison’s Christmas Session 2018

12/19/2018

You’ve seen Addison on this blog a lot through the years, starting as a little newborn! She’s going to be 2 this December, so this month is very good to her! She came in for Christmas photos, and she even let her parents steal a little of her spotlight by getting into some family shots!

She did a great job posing and her parents and I had a very fun time doing silly things to make her laugh. The things you’ll do to make a kid smile are unbelievable! Here are some of my favorite photos from our session!

Vincent & Louis’ Christmas Session 2018

12/18/2018

Vincent and Louis have been coming into the studio since before they were born! They've been back many times now and it was great to see them back again for their Christmas photos this year! They had a lot of fun playing with the props we had on hand! It was so sweet to see how curious and playful they are, and how well they play together. They gave nice big smiles for the camera, especially when we waved around toys of their favorite characters from Puppy Dog Pals!
Here are some of my favorite photos from their session!

Gianna, Coda & Cadence's Christmas Session 2018

12/17/2018

This is the third year I’ve had the pleasure to photograph sweet Gianna and her two dogs, Coda and Cadence! They’re always so good at posing. I was looking back at Gianna’s past sessions and I noticed these three photos that are very similar to each other. I love to see a progression like this from year to year!

It’s so nice when clients come back to me again and again, because it shows me that they’re pleased with my work, and that makes me very happy. It’s also just great to see how the kids grow and change, and how the dogs are still goofy and sweet as always.
Here are my favorite photos from Gianna’s Christmas session this year!

Annie and Charley’s Christmas Session

12/15/2018

Ah, Christmas time! This is the time of year that I get to see my past clients I’ve shot as babies come back to me! I've been photographing Annie since her first birthday and Charley since she was a newborn. It's so fun to see how these two are growing into these big adorable kids. They have a lot of personality and they remind me a lot of my sister and I when we were kids.

We had a great day running around the park! Little sister Charley loved every opportunity to give her big sister a hug when I asked them to. She would squeeze her as hard as she could and then they would both dissolve into giggles. It was so sweet, and big sister Annie was a great sport about being asked to hug her little sister!

Here are my favorite shots from our session!

Sarah, Ethan and Jessica

11/9/2018

Ok, so I'm going to prepare you for something unexpected. There won't be any babies or dogs in this post. I know, that's very unusual for me! But the adorable kids you're going to see do belong to my dog trainer Corinn of Coexisting Canine Dog Training! I felt a little strange to be visiting her back yard without my Gracey in tow to attend her doggy social group, but I had a great time getting to know her kids Sarah, Ethan and Jessica during our session. Even though the dogs weren't in the photos this time, the kids still had fun. At the end of the session they even had a spontaneous tennis ball fight with the abundant amount of them laying around the yard. Here are some of my favorite photos from that day!

Juliette’s 1st Birthday

10/2/2018

I first met Juliette’s family when her mom was pregnant with her. Nina brought her son Owen and their family dog Bolt to the first pet portrait program I did with Islip Public Library. Nina and I kept in touch on Instagram and then the second time the program came around, Juliette joined them! By the time I met her, I felt like I knew her because I’d seen so many of her photos! She was just as smiley and happy at the program. When Nina reached out to me to shoot Juliette’s rainbow themed 1st birthday photos, I was so happy. I knew she was going to give me great smiles, and being the aunt to a rainbow baby myself, I was especially honored to capture these special memories.

Big brother Owen was so good posing with his baby sister. He’s had a lot of practice!

Then Dad joined us and we closed out the day with some family shots!

When Mom came in to the studio to see the photos, we did a few more shots of a onesie we didn’t get around to photographing at the park. Juliette is such a pro at smiling! I'm so happy I've been able to get to know this special girl and her family.
